Mesotherapy
MESOTHERAPY is a procedure of injecting the beneficial nutrients directly in to the layer of the skin, in order to stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin and also to rejuvenate the skin and leave it glowing and shining.
The number of treatments is totally dependent on the area of the body undergoing the treatment along with the condition being treated. Once the treatment sessions have been conducted, the results start to become apparent for up to a period of 3-6 months.
Your therapist is going to sterilize the area to be treated with some alcohol. After that, they will use a handheld device with a microscopic needle that will penetrate the epidermis multiple times, nourishing your skin with a bespoke blend of vitamins, tailored to your individual concern. These powerful injections of nutrients will help to stimulate new collagen production and improve microcirculation to help to address your individual concern.

Dehydration dramatically impacts the texture of your skin and can cause a flaky, wrinkled, dull and unhealthy appearance. Mesotherapy for the face can be a great solution for dehydrated skin as it delivers tailored vitamins and minerals into the lower layers of the epidermis helping to nourish and revitalise the skin on a deeper level.
In addition to treating wrinkles and removing unwanted fat, mesotherapy is also used to treat hair loss from alopecia. The treatment injects natural plant extracts, vitamins, or medicines like finasteride and minoxidil into the head.
People who perform mesotherapy for hair loss claim it:
- corrects hormone imbalances in and around the hair follicle
- delivers nutrients to the hair
- improves blood circulation
Cellulite is one of the most common skin concerns that can be extremely hard to tackle. The specialised cellulite-busting blend of nutrients used during a Mesotherapy London treatment can result in the plumping, hydrating and smoothing of the skin, working wonders to reduce the appearance of the orange peel skin.
After having the treatment, your therapist will hydrate your skin using the suitable hydrating products and apply a high factor SPF for protection. Mesotherapy for the face and body is a minimally invasive treatment that involves no downtime and you can resume to your regular daily routine. Usually, we recommend a course of 6 treatments in order to get full results, but your Practitioner is the one that will assess the exact number of treatments that will be suitable for your own individual concern.
Dermal Fillers
Better known as the ‘Fountain of Youth’, Hyaluronic acid treatment is used to improve the skin’s contour and reduce wrinkles or depressions in the skin due to scars, acne, lines or injury. This has now become the most popular skin filler injectable treatment available. As you age, wrinkles begin to appear on your skin due to many factors like excessive sun exposure, prolonged movement over time of the facial muscles used for the various expressions, genetic factors, alcohol, smoking.
Hyaluronic acid is a complex sugar molecule, occurring naturally in the body in the skin and the cartilages. Its basic function is to act like a sponge and hold water inside it so that the volume of the skin is maintained. Over time, as the body ages, the natural reserve of this Hyaluronic acid starts depleting and causes the wrinkles and folds in the skin. The Hyaluronic fillers treat the wrinkles and folds, by restoring the Hyaluronic acid deplete in the body due to ageing. These fillers are becoming increasingly popular among the other dermal filler treatments.
The whole procedure may last for 15 minutes to one hour depending on how many problems are being treated. The actual procedure is preceded by the cleansing of the part with an alcohol-based cleaner. Since the Hyaluronic acid does not contain any anaesthetic, a local or a topical anaesthetic is given to make the process painless.
The surgeon uses ultra-fine needles to inject the Hyaluronic acid, along the margin of the treatment area. After 2 or 3 injections, the surgeon will massage the area. The injections are continued along the entire area of the fold or wrinkle. In case no anaesthetic is used, the Hyaluronic acid injections may create a minor sting. The injected Hyaluronic acid attracts the water molecules towards it, causing an increase in the volume beneath the skin. This increase lifts the skin above causing the wrinkles and the folds to smoothen out.
The injected Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance, and hence the body will utilize it during metabolism. This means that the results though instant, cannot last permanently. The duration of the beneficial effects does vary from one patient to another, but the average duration is between 6 and 12 months.
Botox
Botox used to reduce wrinkles is purified Botulinum Toxin A. When Botox is injected into the muscle, it blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles and therefore reducing the wrinkles. A smoothing effect is seen almost immediately and it continues to improve over the next few days.
The full effects of Botox injections can be seen within 5-7 days. Results may vary on individuals, depending on the severity of wrinkles and the strength of muscles treated. The results last up to six months after which most patients gradually return to their former state. Normally, Botox Injections should be repeated every 5-6 months.
While Botox has been safely used by millions of patients, it is recommended that pregnant women or women who are breastfeeding their babies, as well as patients suffering from neurologic disease, should never use Botox. If you’re considering taking Botox injections be sure to thoroughly research the professionals in your area who are offering this service! Make sure it is done by a qualified skin doctor or dermatologist.
Botox Cosmetic Injection Procedure
First, a Derma Clinic doctor (dermatologist) will determine where to administer the injections by examining your ability to move certain muscles in your forehead area. The location, size, and use of the muscles that create a wrinkled forehead vary markedly among individuals.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Botox (Botulinum toxin type A) is then been injected with a very tiny needle. (Here at Derma Clinic we use the smallest needles possible). The injected Botox attaches itself to nerve endings. During normal muscle function, the neurotransmitter called acetylcholine is released from these nerve endings, causing muscle contractions. Botox blocks the release of acetylcholine, causing the muscle to become relaxed.
Normally no anaesthesia is required, although we may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anaesthetic cream prior to injecting if your pain tolerance is negligible. Discomfort is usually minimal and brief. Most patients compare the sensation to a pinprick.
In usual cases, the Botox treatment lasts for about 10 minutes, and no recovery time is needed. You may resume normal activity immediately. You may see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows within a matter of two to three days. Improvement may continue for as long as a month and could last up to 6 months. However, results are known to vary from person to person depending on their medical history and lifestyle.
